Alright, the time has come for me to toss aside my gargantuan CRT monitor in favor of a smaller, lighter, sexier LCD monitor. I've been waiting for prices to drop, and at long last they have (at least to a point where I can consider buying them). But monitors are the one area of computers I know next to nothing about. I'm completely in the dark here.
So, like any geek that grew up with computers and the Internet, I turn to you JU/WC/Whoever reads this and ask for your help in picking out the right monitor for me.
Here are some criteria I have:
Primary Use: I'm a gamer... I play everything from Minesweeper to Doom 3 and World of Warcraft. I need a monitor that has very good color/image quality and doesn't suffer from image ghosting
Size: I can't go below 19" as that's what I've grown accustomed to. I'm also used to running at 1600x1200 resolution.
Price: While they are coming down in price, I still can't afford to shell out a ton of cash. My limit is around $800
Those are the main buying points I have. I've looked at the Dell UltraSharps and like what they offer but I don't want to overlook something equal or better from another company.
Thanks in advance!
